# Tokenomics & Sustainability

iRender's economic model is centered around the IRD token, which supports transactions, incentivizes participation, and ensures network sustainability.

1. IRD Token Supply: Capped at 300 million, designed for scarcity and value retention.
2. Incentive Mechanisms: Rewards GPU providers and enables renters to pay for services, creating a balanced ecosystem.
3. Staking and Governance: Token holders gain governance rights, allowing them to participate in platform decisions.
